Find all the comics!

I’ve had a tooth infection all week. It sucks like a black hole. It usually takes about 4 hours to do a strip, but between starring at the screen in a pain killer induced haze and wincing every time I even think about the right side of my head each of this week’s strips have taken about 8 hours. Ugh. Thank god I don’t have any dental insurance.

Anyway… We’ve been jumping around between the 7 and 8 spot on TWC for the last few days. I’d love to finish the month out at #7. If we can take the 7 spot and keep it till Tuesday I’m planning on doing 2 extra strips (5 total) for the first week of November. You can vote at the link below.

One more time: If you live in Portland Oregon you should check out the Women of Wonder event at Excalibur comics this Sunday from noon- 6pm. This is a Wonder Woman inspired charity auction featuring original art by dozens of cartoonists (including myself). Come by and see some art or place a bid for charity! My contribution is this 9 x 12 pen and ink illustration, hand colored with Copic markers. It was tons of fun and you can totally big on it if you want.

Let me be the first to commend Jake on the cleanliness of his toilet. I’ve never seen it, but if Marla has a strange phobia of public restrooms but is willing to flush herself down Jake’s toilet then it’s got to be very clean.

Sorry to hear about the tooth, Jake. If you’ve got basic medical insurance, though, you can usually get your doctor to prescribe antibiotics and pain-killers. He or she will probably still tell you that you need to go see a dentist, but explain that your insurance doesn’t cover it and you can’t afford it, right now, and then just ask for the antibiotics. It’s worked for me in the past.

Now is that “WEIRD GLASSES fetish” or”weird, GLASSES FETISH”?
You like weird glasses or you find it weird that you like glasses?
If it’s the former, that’s an interesting fetish I’ve never heard of, a fetish inside moe, if it’s the latter, yer just a moe that likes glasses. Hell I like glasses on women.

Oh boy in panel three it’s almost as if I heard my brother. He has this thing that he can only use the toilet here at home or at places he’s already comfortable with. No idea how long the Grand canyon-Portland route is, but when he was at a camp he didn’t need the toilet till the 5th day. XD

You know… now that you are $#6, we should get SIX strips the first week in November!

😀

(Quick! Vote again! Get your friends to read and vote!) Seriously, if you can knock off Evil Diva, who used to be at #490 and we got her to #5 almost permanently, you will “own” the TWC 10–except for Goblins and Two Kinds. They always fight for #1/2

I voted again. I hope people start voting soon. MM is only 30 votes from being kicked out of the #6 spot, but over 1,000 from #5 and up against a VERY tough top 5 crowd. Oh, and Mara seems to be the star of this page. (IMHO)

This is a random notion, but…. do medusa’s dye their hair, like we do? If they do…. do the snakes turn a different color? Or maybe only the actual hair part, as in some versions of medusa’s only the end half of the hair is actual snake, and the connected to head half is hair (which could be the case in our little MM, as this site’s background of her certainly make it look like she has actual hair bits)?
If a medusa dyed her hair blonde… would… would the snakes be yellow?

Try signing up for CareCredit. It’s a credit card you can use for dental, eye care, hearing care, etc. It’s basically a credit card (which you have to pay back, of course), but nearly all dentists will take it and depending on the total charge you’ll get so many months interest free. Plus, you can get instant approval and use your numbers the same day.

No, I don’t work for them. It just saved my butt (and my mouth!!!) when I got a horrible infection last spring and wound up getting all 4 wisdom teeth removed.

This comic is just delightfully zany. I particularly liked the comic where the niece was standing in the toilet and says, “Don’t worry – we’ll get him back”. So badass.

I’m surprised how many denizens of this world I like. The dickish (but not exactly evil) mermaids are nice. For some reason, I really like the big white (bunny-like?) creature in armor – it also reminds me of Mimiga from Cave Story. And the humanoid innkeeper which hasn’t been explained yet – the fact that it’s not explained makes it fun. And how the niece’s garb is evocative of Link. It’s serious, fun, zany, and adorable in equal measures – it makes you care for the characters, and keeps you on your toes in this new universe.
